looking for a short high quality wave boom for my Gaastra 3.7m. I have severne enigma wave booms that say they go down to 140 but these are too long... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

Well, thats almost inpossible i think.
Even my IQ 3.3 fits a 140- (GA Carbon) boom and the severne is the same length...
What mast do you have in the sail? A harttop? Or a Constant curve? When you have a flextop mast it can be the problem but i really don't think it is to be honest.
Strange i must say.

But when you are looking for a shorter wave boom i know al360 (slim) makes custom booms in 135- and there is a Tecno Limits Sleek 135- on the market and since a short time the Goya carbon super skinny 130-

At such a short length any boom is strong.
So if you can't get a gee whizz $1000 boom short enough (plus really do u need it when it is that short?) - get a new quality alloy one or a secondhand carbon and shorten it

Mark has a point, you can always shorten your severne boom...

Hi, selling my Chinook carbon boom. Its the wave version, 135-185cm. Grip is in good condition, some nicks and cuts as you'd expect but pretty good I would say.

Surely easier to sell the sail and get a 3.7m that fits. Mine works fine on a 140...
